  Jan..

  This Coco has 64k of RAM. The idea that Tandy used
  half bad 64k RAM is a rumor.

  In all my years of working with Coco's, I've NEVER
  seen one.

  Every 32k unit, except early home-upgraded units with
  piggy-backed 16k chips, were 64k.

  And I NEVER said the Composite Adapter was standard. I
  just said, one was in there...

  ROFLMAO!

  It's sold already, (pending my emailing the first
  person who responded to my email) and there's no point
  in posting a picture of it. It looks NO different from
  ANY Coco I you can see on any website.

  All the differences are internal.
